監製：Danny SIT

If “ Hong Kong Connection ” were a tree, how old would it be? It was on 5 March, 1978 that the documentary series first went on the air in Chinese. As the series continues, its staff are determined to go on uncovering and delving into every local and international topic that concerns the people in Hong Kong, whether it be political, economic, educational, commercial, environmental or technological. A tree plays an important environmental role in refreshing the air that we breathe and holding from the earth on which we stand. It is Hong Kong Connection's mission to provide the public with information and analyses as well as an opportunity for rational discussion. The programme is aired every Thursday evening on TVB Pearl at 19:00-19:30 (3 Oct. 2013 - 27 March 2014)

Live webcast: Thursday HKT 2100 - 2130

Archive available later after live webcast. ** Please note that the programme air-time on TV is different with webcast time.

Incumbent Hong Kong Bar Council chairperson Paul Lam is aggressively seeking re-election, amid a well-publicized challenge from Philip Dykes who vows to ‘stand fearlessly’ for judicial independence.
Many in the legal circles expect that the race between Lam and Dykes is going to be a tough one.
Why does the election of a professional body catch the attention of the public? How would the two lists of candidates prepare for the election? Will this election reflect the attitude of the Bar Council defending the city’s rule of law in coming years?

There’s no shortage of government land that’s presently lying idle because no development plans have yet been finalised. In theory, such land can be leased to private concerns or individuals on Short Term Tenancies.

African elephants are facing extinction. Because of the ivory trade, they are being slaughtered for their tusks.
However, there seems to be hope on the horizon. Most countries in the world are taking action against the ivory trade.

Low-income people need affordable homes to live in. To meet their pressing demand, two novel ideas have emerged: converting shipping containers into homes and getting benevolent property owners involved.

With over 7 million people in Hong Kong, no one should be surprised to the seemingly long queues of out-patients at public hospitals every day. Every one of them, pardon the pun, needs to be very patient.

Hong Kong is climatically attractive to birds. But as urban development continues, we invariably encroach on their natural habitats. Happily, there is growing awareness that we should co-exist with our avian neighbours.

Two years ago, Hong Kong Connection asked three young university graduates to each write a letter to themselves ... letters that are to be read today. The hope was to learn more about the growing pains of youth.

In Hong Kong hospitals, there are as yet no specialist services for patients of rare diseases. Let’s visit two families whose sons have rare diseases.

Magnificent bridges are awe inspiring. But generally we marvel only at the genius of the engineers and the magnitude of the financial input, hardly appreciating the investment of human sweat and blood.

People are living longer and longer. While longevity is something to be celebrated, an ageing population is a considerable problem for any modern city or country.
According to Hong Kong Population Projections, the population is expected to remain on an ageing trend. The proportion of the population aged 65 and over is projected to rise markedly to 2.58 million in 2064. The needs of long term elderly care are projected with declining mortality rate in our aging population.
Most of the people want to age at home instead of spending their last part of lives in old age homes. In Hong Kong, a policy referred to as ageing in place was introduced in 2003. But have the burden of the caregivers been addressed?
